We are considering purchasing this for a medical practice. 1) It will scan to multiple macs and PCs via wireless, correct? 2) What is the scan PPM?

We use it for our medical billing and physician consulting company and we love it. We bought this one and moved an earlier version of it into our home. Not sure how many PPM off hand, but I'm sure you could find it on brother's website. Highly recommend!!

I am using the latest Mac OSX operating system and I am able to scan wirelessly. I have the epson connected directly to my router and my computer is on the wireless network. Hope this helps!

So far so good. I have a mac so they didn't send a cd to download, only for windows. I had to call and do it on line with a rep which was unusual but worked. I haven't used it a lot yet so not sure about everything. I have been using the scanner and regular copier and that works good. For the price I don't think you can go wrong. Hope this helps! Karla

Not always. I have a macbook pro and one of the main reasons I got this printer is to use the full duplex scanning feature since I keep most of my documents in electronic format. I used to use the pdfscanner app with an epson printer. I love the pdfscanner app. It does not seem to work with this printer. I then started using the included HP software to use the scanner. I works for me about 40% of the time. Basically, I have to power cycle the printer a few times. Then if that doesn't work, I power cycle my laptop and eventually the HP software might be able to connect so that I can scan something! I've had no issue printing. I've had lots of issues scanning. I'm planning to return this printer for this very reason.

The scanner is compatible with Mac and you simply hook it up via USB to download your data. The bonus software included is only compatible for PCs and is not necessary.

NO...but supposedly they say they're working on software for Apple/MACs... I run mine on a Toshiba Satellite laptop & it runs well. Only issue I noticed was when I transferred photos to the Apple - they did not look the same, so it seems whatever settings this scanner uses, they are particular to the computer/laptop used

Hi. I can't answer with 100% certainty because I'm a windows user. But, Plustek offers drivers for the Mac. If I had to guess, I suspect most users are Mac Users. If you want to be 100% certain, I strongly recommend calling Plustek support. They been very helpful.Related note...The conflict between the scanner and the network has not as yet been resolved. However, the Plustek support contact continues to be willing to try to solve the problem. Meanwhile, I still 'disable' the network when scanning.

Sure. The Brother provides the software for both PC and MAC OSX. I used it for both OS. The CD comes with the scanner has it. Also, you could download it from Brother.

You can do this with the capture software on a Mac (I have never used it with Windows, but assume it functions similarly). Simultanioisly scan of multiple documents is definitely not a hardware based function on this scanner.

Works with Mac & PC. Is it worth the purchase? No. Read my full review for details.

When scanning are you running it through the document feeder or scanning from the glass? As regards scanning to other PCs are the units you are trying to scan to all connected via a network?

I had similar problems Chris. I am only using this printer with my desktop iMac in my private office where it works fine. I run my small medical practice online with 2 Windows laptops--I was able to use this printer successfully at times, but I recall having to delete it and reinstall it a couple of times wirelessly. I think you should delete it, then add it back only via wireless.

This unit allows you to scan items to cloud services over the internet as opposed to the other units which are hard wired with USB. If you want to scan directly to your computer then you should purchase the cheaper models as the wifi in this unit will not scan direct to your machine over wifi, you must connect the scanner with a USB cable to scan directly to your PC.

I don't know anything about Mac's. This printer works wonderfully well for my pc and my laptop. I have used the scan, copy, and print modes and am happy. Haven't had the need to fax anything, but I don't have any reason to think it won't work just fine.

FYI, the Strobe 500 does NOT natively support Mac OS. I would go out on a limb and say it's borderline false advertisement. There are NO drivers for this scanner on the Mac side.What they did is bundle in a 14-day trial of some third-party software that has its own connector to the Strobe. Unfortunately, with the price of the Strobe 500 + the price of this software, you might as well get the S1500 which at least has out-of-the-box direct support for the Mac without spending more money.
